ABSTRACT
The study was conducted to create the Knowledge Center in the Department of
Agriculture-Cordillera Administrative Region-Regional-Agriculture Field Unit Rural
Agriculture Fisheries and Information Division (DA-CAR-RAFID.
Specifically, it intended to identify the available information materials at DACAR-
RAFID; classify and sort all the information materials; catalogue all the information
materials found; establish a borrowing and returning system of the knowledge center; and,
create a digital library of the knowledge center collection
The researcher interviewed one key informant and conducted a focus group
discussion with the five media specialists and two ICT technicians of the Division. Coding
sheet was used to classify the information materials.
A total of 1,322 were collected and organized in the Knowledge Center. These came
from the different organizations, institutions, and other related agencies. There were 13
types collected based on the nature of materials. These were classified as Reference Book,

Manual, Techno-Guide Production, Newsletter, Information Kit, Newspaper, Magazine,
Comics, R & D Journal, Highlight, Proceedings, Leaflet, Comics and
Information Bulletin.
The Dewey Decimal System was used to catalogue the Information Materials. The
data were listed according to the coding sheet: author, title of the information material, date
and place of publication, number of pages and also the cutter number was generated using
the OCLC cutter number program which served as the Call Number of each Information
Material.The cutter numbers were printed and were used as label on the spine of the
classified Information Materials. The shelves were also labeled and arranged near the
receiving area of the RAFID office making up the Knowledge Center The Digital Library
of the DA-CAR-RAFID was created using the Adobe Dream
Weaver software. The data from the catalogued information materials were loaded
in the Adobe Dream Weaver Software and were operated using Html files. Final entry was
uploaded to the www.librarything.com website.The study concluded that The DA-CAR-
RFU-RAFID Knowledge Center had a number of information materials which can be
utilized by its stakeholders if it is made accessible. An organized Knowledge Center made
Information Materials more accessible to stakeholders of the Regional Office. The DA-
CAR-RAFID Digital Library served as an avenue for the Division to upload more
Information Materials which can be accessed by Stakeholder online. With these
conclusions, the study recommends that the Knowledge Center may consider hiring skilled
staff for the monitoring and improvement of it. The Knowledge Center may also consider
having a multimedia and internet section for further usage and research.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Available Information Materials
A total of one thousand three hundred twenty two (1,322) Information Materials
(see Appendix A to M ) were collected from the DA-CAR-RAFID and also from the five
(5) Regional Field Units of the DA-CAR namely Rice, High Value Development Crops,
Agribusiness, Livestock and Organic Agriculture in which the five banners of the program
of the Regional Office were incorporated.
Most of the Information Materials came from the Regional Division that were
produced and published since the Division was established but they were just stored in the
stock room and were not for public use and access. Some came from different institutions
such as the Department of Agriculture National Office, Bureaus of the
Department of Agriculture, PhilRice, PhilMech, Philippine Council for Agriculture,
Forestry and Natural Resources Research and Development (PCARRD) and other related
government institutions that were used only for references. These were mainly for the use
of the members of the RAFID for making articles, Instructional-Educational-Campaign
(IEC) materials and some research.
Some of the information materials were owned by the past and the recent Director
of the DA-CAR and also the head of the RAFID Division that were donated purposively.
Generally, the topic of the Information Material revolves mostly around
agriculture specifically on rice, high value crops, fishery, forestry, pest management, dairy

farming, plant disease management and livestock. Others were on environment topics,
health, gender and sensitivity and community organizing.
Information Materials Classification
The Information Materials were sorted and organized according to the nature of the
materials ( see Appendix A to K ): Reference Book, Manual, Techno-Guide
Production, Newsletter, Information Kit, Newspaper, Magazine, Comics, R & D Journal,
Highlight, Proceedings, Brochures, Leaflet, Comics and Information Bulletin. These were
then arranged in the four (4) 6 x 2 feet in bookshelves purchased by the Division for the
Knowledge Center.

The CD’s and DVDs were not included because they were prohibited for public
use and is used Division's only. All Information Materials may be freely accessed by any
user subjected to some rules and regulations as stated by Chauhan (2009) that it is a part
of open access publishing which the material are available to all potential users without
financial or other barriers.
All Information Materials were classified for organized and proper arrangement as
emphasized by Brittanica.com (2012) that it enables patrons to find materials easily and
quickly and arranged in some order unites, controls the information from various sources.
The Knowledge Center followed the Dewey Decimal Classification System since
the array was small and still at the beginning subject to improvement. It was stated that it
is most widely used method in classifying libraries and according to Halsey (Nd.) that this
system is a general organizational tool that is continuously revised to keep pace with
knowledge.
Each Information Materials was labeled at the spine or in front which contain the
cutter number system which was generated using in the Dewey Cutter Software. This is
the call number containing letters and numbers and the date published for easy locating.
Cataloguing of the Information Materials
The Dewey Decimal System was used to catalogue the data for the Information Materials.
The data was listed according to the coding sheet (see appendix A-K). The data was then
entered in the OCLC Dewey Cutter Program Version 1.10.6 which generated the cutter
number based on the author (see Figure 13).

The cutter numbers were printed and were used as label on the spine of the classified
information materials. The shelves were also labeled and arranged near the receiving area
of the RAFID office making up the Knowledge Center.
The Information Materials also underwent cataloguing process as shown in
Appendix A to M in which the following data were gathered such the author, title of the
information material, date and place of publication, number of pages. Other details were
number of copies, with pictures, diagram and tables and whether the copy is black and
white or colored. It was stated by Caro (2000) that it’s about the process of making a
bibliographic record and getting some pertinent details about published work particularly
books and periodicals.

Borrowing and Returning System of the Knowledge Center
During the Focus Group Discussion with the following Media Specialist of the Divisions;
Eryrl Palcon, Anna Marie Bautista, Alice Tabuno and Crisante Rosario of the division and
two (2) ICT Technicians; Jason Gamsawen and Jojo Alejo , the Borrowing and Returning
of the Knowledge Center was generated.

Region- Regional Field Unit- Regional Agriculture Fisheries and Information Division (DA-
CAR-RFU-RAFID). | CAÑERO III, ALFREDO C. APRIL 2013
Borrowing of information materials. A client can avail Information Material inside
the Knowledge Center if it is available. The borrowers get the call number and the title of
the material then fill-up the information on the logbook and deposit a valid I.D. A Staff or
Officer-in-charge will sign the listing. The Schedule of Borrowing is from 8:00 to 5:00
pm from Monday to Friday only. The Information Materials are allowed to be borrowed
for a maximum two weeks and in case a member of the Division reserves the material/s,
it may not be borrowed. The borrower is required to read carefully the library rules and
regulations before filing the needed information. The borrower will be given a maximum
of three (3) offenses: 1st Offense, Warning; 2nd offense, Fine; 3rd Offense,
Prohibition of the use of the Knowledge Center.
Returning system. Information material/s shall be return to the staff or the
Officerin-charge of the Knowledge Center. The materials will be checked and verified
before the borrower returns it to the shelf.
Digital Library of the Knowledge Center
As part of the study, a digital library was created with the use modern technology. As
stated by Lynch and Molina (1995) a Digital Library will ideally provide a coherent view
of all of the information contained within a library, no matter its form or format and serve
particular communities or constituencies, as traditional libraries do now, though those
communities may be widely dispersed throughout the network.
Also, as supported by Arms (1995), Digital Libraries are the digital face of
traditional libraries that include both digital collections and traditional, fixed media
collections so they both encompass both electronic and paper materials.

However, according to the Jojo Alejo, DA ICT Head, their division was limited to
maintenance and updating of the Regional website and uploading of photos and articles.
They did not have control of the website of the National Office which is the repository of
the materials of the Department of Agriculture. Because of this, RAFID cannot upload
Information Materials from their office even if they have a number of available
Information Materials that may be used by the stakeholders who are base in the different
provinces of the region.
Furthermore, Paul Garcia, BSU ICT Head suggested that there are many websites
in the internet that can be used for uploading catalogued files for a digital library.
However, some these are subjected to some terms and conditions.
The Digital Library of the DA-CAR-RAFID was developed using the Adobe
Dream Weaver software (See figure 14). The data from the catalogued information
materials: title, author, data and place publication, number of pages, cutter number,
remarks and pictures was loaded in the Adobe Dream Weaver Software which operated
Html files were uploaded to the website.
The website used was www.librarything.com as suggested by Paul Garcia, BSU
ICT head. It is social cataloging web application for storing and sharing book catalogues
and various types of book metadata. It is used by individuals, authors, libraries and
publishers.

SUMMARY, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
Summary
The study was conducted to create the Knowledge Center in Department of
Agriculture-Cordillera Administrative Region-Regional Agriculture Field Unit Rural
Agriculture Fisheries and Information Division (DA-CAR-RAFID) by answering the
following objectives: to identify the available Information Materials at DA-CAR-RAFID;
to classify all the information materials; to catalogue all the Information Materials found;
to establish a borrowing and returning system of the knowledge center and create a digital
library of the knowledge center collection.
A focus group discussion was used to gather the data needed from the four (4)
Media Specialists: Eryrl Palcon, Anna Marie Bautista, Alice Tabuno and Crisante Rosario
of the division and two (2) ICT Technicians; Jason Gamsawen and Jojo Alejo . A coding
sheet and table were used for the classification and cataloguing of the Information
Materials. Data gathered were presented through discussions. Tables were used to present
the data of the available information materials, the classified and catalogued materials and
a flow chart of the process of creating the knowledge center was also done. Further, Photos
of the Knowledge Center and Screen Capture of the Digital Library were also done.
A total of one thousand three hundred twenty two (1,322) Information Materials
were collected and organized in the Knowledge Center. There were 13 types based on the
nature of materials and were classified as Reference Book, Manual, Techno-Guide 50
Production, Newsletter, Information Kit, Newspaper, Magazine, Comics, R & D Journal,
Highlight, Proceedings, Leaflet, Comics and Information Bulletin.

Newspaper had highest in number followed by magazines and techno-guide
production respectively while the least were the Comics and the Information Bulletin. Most
of the topic revolves on agriculture and environmental conservation. Also most of the
Information Material came from other agencies related to the Department of Agriculture
(DA).
The Dewey Decimal Cutter Program was used to generate the Call Number of each
Information Material for ease of locating and the Information Materials were arranged in
the shelves were labeled. Classifying, cataloguing and labeling made it easier to locate the
materials.
The created Borrowing and Returning System was identified from the
recommendations of the staff to ensure the Knowledge Center is fully monitored and to
make it easier to access Information Materials.
There was no existing Digital Library of the DA-CAR-RAFID because the ICT
Division of the Division had no control over of the National Office which is the repository
of the Information Materials of the Department of Agriculture. Because of the Division
cannot upload Information Materials from their office even if they have a number of
available Information Materials that may be used by the stakeholders.
